Any students who cheat or are involved in identity theft in the national college entrance exam, or gaokao, will be disqualified from enrolling in universities and colleges, the Ministry of Education said.

教育部表示，在高考中舞弊或冒名顶替的学生将取消其高校入学资格。

Universities should conduct identity checks of high school graduates to find any students who have stolen others' identities or gained extra gaokao points through illegal means, it said.

教育部要求高校认真开展新生身份核查，以及时发现冒名顶替以及违规获得加分资格等行为。

【单词讲解】

这里的identity theft字面意思为“身份窃取”，其实就是新闻报道中说的“冒名顶替”，其动词形式为steal one's identity，而“冒名顶替者”就是imposter。因此，“冒名顶替”这种行为也可以用imposture来表示。比如： He was accused of imposture.(他被指冒名顶替。)

Cheat这个词在英语里很常用，可以作为动词和名词使用，有“欺骗、骗子、出轨”等意思，不同的搭配会表达不同的意思，我们在使用的时候要非常注意。比如，cheat on someone表达的是“背着(配偶、性伴侣)乱搞;对(配偶、性伴侣)不忠”的意思，也就是我们常说的“出轨”，如果你想说“她骗了我”可以直接用she cheated me或者she fooled me来表示，而千万不能说she cheated on me。另外，我们也可以直接说someone is a cheat，来表示“某人是个骗子”。

The ministry said in a notice issued on Thursday that it will work with public security and disciplinary authorities to look into any fraud in the exam and hold those guilty of violations and any people who assist them accountable.

教育部在7月2日发布的通告中表示，将配合公安、纪检监察等部门一查到底，依法依纪追究有关人员的责任。

同时，教育部会同国家卫生健康委指导各地结合实际，制定高考组考防疫工作方案和实施办法，并狠抓落实。

Candidates and the test site staff will have their body temperatures and health conditions monitored regularly starting from 14 days ahead of the exam, the ministry said in a statement.

各地已提前14天对考生和考务人员进行日常体温测量和身体健康状况监测。

Exam-sitters will have their body temperatures measured and are allowed into test sites only when their body temperatures are below 37.3 degrees Celsius.

高考时，所有进入考点人员都要进行体温测量，37.3℃以下方可进入考点。

There will be at least three isolated test rooms at each test site, available for candidates who exhibit symptoms of fever and cough during the exam, according to the statement.

每考点不得少于3个备用隔离考场，考中出现发热、咳嗽考生，将按照既定程序转移至备用隔离考场应考。
